Take the poha in a mixer jar and powder it and set aside. Sieve and remove coarse pieces.
Take the fried gram in the mixer and powder it well.
Use homemade rice flour and sieve all the flours to remove coarse pieces.
Take the flours in a wide bowl, add cumin seeds, red chili powder, butter, and salt.
Mix everything to a soft and smooth dough. You can use any murukku acchu you want.
I like the star one and used it for these as it gives a nice crispy effect.
Heat a kadai with oil and when hot, fill the mold and press it either directly or make small murukkus in a plate and gently slide into hot oil.
Lower the flame and cook the murukkus on both sides
Drain on to a kitchen towel.
